Here's some high-res Cassandra for Lingvort.
I presume it's going to be a casual thing until she sacrifices herself to save you for the 'greater good' or some such thing. I personally don't see the appeal of Cass appearance wise, but her voice actress on the other hand...
Alas, "it has been confirmed by the developers that the Inquisitor will not be able to marry their romanced companion due to the chaotic sta… morete the world of Thedas is in."
By now I'm wondering how this "unexpected" and "romantic" side of her is going to play out...
If that's really how it turns out, I'm going to be really disappointed. While it's an interesting turn of events, it has kind of turned cliché, and I don't like clichés much.
So, I'll be crossing my fingers for something more well-written and less stereotypical. But, we'll see.

I fully expect some clichés, but I'm more interested in the details, such as how the Inquisitor's sexual orientation will play out (or lack thereof), and how "fully gay" characters will react to your choices on the subject. As an old friend of mine once quipped, "When a man and a woman have sex, it's just sex. But when two women have sex, it's art."

Here's some high-res Cassandra for Lingvort.
Well, since the orientation is pretty much established only when you start romancing someone, I'd have to wait till I start a romance. However, if there are sexual encounters (or kind of sexual) with some random NPCs, that kind of contradict the established orientation (f.e., a female Lord-Inquisitor romancing Cullen (urgh) goes out of her way to have sex with a barmaid in some tavern they visit), I do expect them to react.
I wish I could "make art" with Cass as a female protagonist...Lol.

I have... a lot. But, the mods I use are mostly of practical nature (fixes, tweaks, improvements, that sort of thing). I don't use many graphical mods, or mods that add stuff like armor or weapons to the game, so, if you want more of those, you'll have to ask someone else.
I've been using Faster Combat and I've had the Personal Annoyance Remover packed in with the Improved Combat mod.
The last two actually look quite interesting (though, I'm not sure about the DA2 armors in DA:O setting. Maybe the Wardens are supposed to look like poor militiamen, I don't know), especially the Weapon Replacer. I might use them the next time I play the game.
Extra Dog Slot, Personal Annoyance Remover, Faster Combat, Adonnay's Weapon Replacer, Grey Wardens of Ferelden.
Those are my essential mods. I have a metric shitton of others, but they're all up to taste really.
I dunno, the Grey Warden mod just does a lot for the immersion and consistency. The Wardens were always described as noble warriors wearing bright, shining armour and all that, not 'poor militiamen' - and it doesn't contradict the fact that in DA:O you're just two surviving recruits scraping by. Alistair starts with his basic Grey Warden medium armour, you get one set based on your class after you take the Joining, and then upgraded versions of them can be found at Soldier's Peak, or in a chest Riordan presumably gives you by the end of the game.
Also, decking the whole party out in Warden armour in Awakening is badass.

I was talking about the Grey Wardens who are present in the background. They all wear studded leather (with a notable exception of Ser Jory), which is hardly a "bright, shining armor" like in DA2. That's why I call them "poor militiamen". Shortage of armor/metal/blacksmiths much?

I prefer it with this retexture, as seen above...
Well, that's because Jory and Daveth were still recruits. The mod makes it so you only get the armour once you actually undergo the Joining. Those two, and your Warden for the first half of Ostagar/The Wilds etc, are still wearing whatever generic armour you had on.

Noob question. But what is dragon age keep is it like an import system? Where you put your choices from the previous games and can import them into inquisition?

"Oh, well, that's a shame... Men, take their armor and weapons and reforge them. We'll need that."
"But... that doesn't feel right, m'lord."
"Lieutenant, who were you before you got conscripted, hmm?"
"Umm, a rapist, sir?"
"Then you aren't the best person to give me moral lessons, don't you think? Now, take these fine boots off of him."
"Sir, yes, sir."
Don't know why I wrote that. Sometimes I'm a bit spontaneous.
P.S: Jory was a knight in service of Arl Eamon. Knowing that many of them wore heavy chainmail and a couple even wore heavy plate begs the question - where is his?

Yeah, Bioware took a lot of inspiration from Martin's work, in fact. I was going to list what was similar in both the Night's Watch and the Wardens, but I accidentally refreshed the page. Needless to say... "aaaaand it's gone".
My favourite origins are (pretty much a tie) Human and Dwarf Noble origins. And there's no pre-established canon for me, the canon changes depending on what playthrough I import, or, rather, what world state I make.
My favourite romances are Leliana and Alistair (yeah, a tie, again).
Not sure what do you mean with this question.
Depends on a playthrough. In my most recent ones, yes, especially for male Human Noble. I usually marry Anora in that case.
Male Kossith.
Story, characters, dialogue. Never really cared that much for the gameplay, as it is hardly this series' gem. Hell, I'll confess, in my latest playthroughs I've cheated my stats from minute one.
To name a few(will add more if I think of any):
Dragon age origins questions:
What was your favorite or Canon origins story?
Who wa… mores your favorite Romance?(might be the same as companion question I'm not sure.)
What was your heroes future plans?
Is Loghain dead or alive for you?
Dragon age inquesition questions:
Will you be playing as male or female?
What do you look most forward to in Inqusitions?(example: gameplay, story, graphics, etc.)
What console will you be playing on?
Ok thats all I can think of for now. I will add dragon age 2 questions once I finish the game or think of some.
I can answer those.

My Dalish Warden is my canon Warden. I've played all the Origins though, so the ones I'd say I enjoyed the most are Dalish, Dwarf Commoner and Noble, and City Elf.
Who was your favorite Romance?(might be the same as companion question I'm not sure.)
Leliana.
What was your heroes future plans?
She decided to travel for a time, and left Denerim for who-knows-where with Leliana, which is probably where she was until Awakening.
Is Loghain dead or alive for you?
Dead. She probably would have spared him, before she discovered he was selling elves into slavery.
Dragon age inquesition questions: Will you be playing as male or female?
Female Qunari warrior first.
What do you look most forward to in Inqusitions?(example: gameplay, story, graphics, etc.)
Story, characters, dialogue, character creation...everything, really.

And the king's death is caused by someone who resented him a great deal. Though, for different reasons. And, after the king's death, the kingdom's affairs are left in charge of this very person, and, eventually, they are brought down once their crimes are brought to the light.

Guys in the latest twitch stream they've confirmed it's October 29th the keep is going into open beta.
Oh, they did? I must've missed that. All is good, then. We'll have 20 days to set up our world states.

Hey Pipas you should add somemore poll questions. I have suggestions. :P
...for some reason, that made me realize what I'd never realized before, the Wardens kinda remind me of the Night's Watch. Huh.
Then throw 'em here. Once Pipas gets here, he'll turn them into polls.

And I guess Couslands = The Starks and Howes = The Boltons.
Hmm...
Ah, that. In case if I play as Human Noble, I usually stay with my spouse (either Anora or Alistair), in other cases my PC travels with Sten.

The Pirates of the Pea Sea. Har har, matey.
Shhh, we're not pirates though. Pirates are exactly why some developers don't make games for us... shifty eyes
Yeah, exactly. These guys are why we can't have nice things... covers his eyes with his hat
...Though, to be completely honest, I can't say I've never done it.
Hmmm. How About what is your favorite dragon age 2 romance?
Hmm, my Hawke kinda just went with Isabela because Anders was too mopey, Fenris was too broody, and Merrill felt like a teenager.
Oh, and a mod I forgot to recommend is Dialogue Tweaks.
It fixes a lot of bugs with companion interactions, romances, etc. Particularly Leliana.
